I'm a programmer with 10 years experience and I can easily use tags, but it still doesn't work in the end. Take, for example, multiline bullet points - they are linearized in view mode! Indenting text when TAB button doesn't work in edit mode and jumps to UI elements? Hell no. I disabled it after a day of suffering. Can't imagine it being used as it is now. They should add shortcuts which will wrap selected pieces of text with corresponding tags at least (by automating adding indents to each line of selected block, for example).
